## Summary

Partner Center lets you upload ebooks (EPUB or PDF) to Google Play Books, choose countries and set list prices. Selling costs nothing; Google pays 70% of list price in 60+ countries once you accept its current terms, and 52% by default elsewhere. Google may set its own retail price, but pays on your list price. Selling the same ebook here conflicts with KDP Select ebook exclusivity.
